Four quick steps to understanding the Supreme Court Obamacare
decision

By
Robert Sassone,

Guest Columnist

Road Sign: Travelers, Mr. Sassone is one of the attorneys who with
permission of the Court filed a brief on the law to the US Supreme
Court in the Obamacare case

Step 1 See Video of President Obama in
2009 defending Obamacare by stating on TV six times that there is
no tax in the Obamacare mandate. These six "no tax" claims by
President Obama are all false as shown by step 3 where Obama argues
just the opposite to the US Supreme Court, that the Obamacare
mandate includes a tax. Google

See page 21 of the dissent of Justices
Scalia et al which states in part:

“But we have never—never—treated as a tax
an exaction which faces up to the critical difference between a tax
and a penalty, and explicitly denominates the exaction a “penalty.”
Eighteen times in §5000A itself and elsewhere throughout the Act,
Congress called the exaction in §5000A(b) a “penalty.”

Step 3 (President Obama states through his
attorney in 2012 to US Supreme Court that contrary to what President
Obama himself repeatedly stated (Step 1) and contrary to what the
Obamacare law itself repeatedly states (Step 2), there is a tax
in the Obamacare mandate .

Step 4 June 28, 2012 the US Supreme Court
by a 5-4 vote accepted the statement of Obama’s attorney that the
Obamacare law is constitutional only because the mandate includes a
tax.,

Supreme Court opinion of Chief Justice Roberts, especially page 32
and following pages.
